Answer:

Power, P =9800 W

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the elevator, m = 500kg

It is raised to a height of 20 m in 10 seconds

Power is defined as the work done per unit time.

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}$

Work done is given by :

$W=mgh$

h is the height

So, $P=\dfrac{mgh}{t}$

$P=\dfrac{500\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 20\ m}{10\ s}$

P = 9800 Watts

Hence, the power of the motor is 9800 W. The correct option is (b).

A proton having an initial velvocity of 20.0i Mm/s enters a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.300 T with a direction perpend

Sonja [21]

The time interval for which the proton remains in the field is -

Δt = $$\frac{\pi R}{40}$ .

We have a proton entering a uniform magnetic field which is in a direction perpendicular to the proton's velocity.

We have to determine time interval during which the proton is in the field.

<h3>What is the magnitude of force on the charged particle moving in a uniform magnetic field?</h3>

The magnitude of force on the charged particle moving in a uniform magnetic field is given by -

F = qvB sinθ

According to the question, we have -

Entering Velocity (v) = 20 i m/s

Magnetic field intensity (B) = 0.3 T

Leaving velocity (u) = - 20 j m/s

Now -

The entering and leaving velocity vectors have 90 degrees difference between them. Therefore, only a quarter of distance of the complete circular path of radius 'R' is traced by the proton. Therefore -

d = $$\frac{2\pi r}{4}$ = $$\frac{\pi R}{2}$

Since, the radius of circular path is not given, we will assume it R.

Therefore, time for which proton remained in the field is -

t = $$\frac{\pi R}{2v} = \frac{\pi R}{40}$

Hence, the time interval for which the proton remains in the field is -

Δt = $$\frac{\pi R}{40}$

A hockey puck slides 55.0 m along the length of the rink in just 1.25 s. The slight friction between the puck and the ice provid

topjm [15]

Answer:

44.8 m/s

Explanation:

Use the Initial Speed Formula:

InS = 2(d/t) - Final Speed

InS = 2(55/1,25) - 43.2

InS = 2.44 - 43,2

InS = 88 - 43,2

InS = 44.8 m/s

Answer:

Weight = 8.162 Newton.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 2.2 kg

Acceleration due to gravity = 3.71 N/kg

To find the weight of the textbook;

Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity

Weight = 2.2 * 3.71

Weight = 8.162 N

Therefore, the weight of the science textbook in mars is 8.162 Newton.

If transpiration didn't take place, would water be able to enter the roots of the plant? Explain your reasoning

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

If transpiration didn't take place water would still be able to enter the roots of a plant

Explanation:

transpiration is the process of water leaving from living organisms to the atmosphere, therefore, if transpiration didn't occur the water would not transpire to the atmosphere and would remain in the root but water absorption would not change because it is a biological need for the living organism as such

Explain how thermal energy (temperature) affects chemical changes.

Monica [59]

If bonds are broken, the energy is released, and if bonds are formed, energy is absorbed. During conversions from chemical energy to thermal energy, the energy stored in the chemical bonds are released and this energy causes surrounding molecules to move faster thus increasing the thermal energy of a substance.
